Reliable Lamp Ignition

The GE HPS1K serves as a critical component in HID lighting systems, providing the initial electrical surge needed to ignite the gas within 1000W HPS and Metal Halide lamps. Its compact oval design allows for easy integration into existing ballast housings. For optimal performance and safety, this ignitor should be mounted within 5 feet of the lamp to ensure the pulse reaches the bulb with minimal voltage drop.
